Rain and Sunshine

It seems ironic to launch a site titled Sunshine and Wishes with a post about rain — but not inappropriate.

Today, it rained buckets. Then it rained tanker trucks. The rain and wind kept coming and hasn’t stopped. There was even a tornado less than 10 miles away.

There were worries today, too. I worried about a close relative in the hospital. I worried about how my children are doing in school. I also worried about starting something new.

There were two storms — one outside, and one in my head.

I prayed and kept pressing on.

Then there was a delivery — new stuff to help fill up the shop. New possibilities! I breathed them in. I seemed capable of life again.

Sunshine and Wishes isn’t about being a cheerful breeze of happiness all the time — not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s about finding the good and reveling in it. It’s about striving for something better. Making positive changes. Being hopeful.
